hello, we got my DD review results back and she still has egg, milk and tree nuts allergies. Milk (mild), egg (moderate) and tree nuts (moderate). carried out both skin prick test and RAST. she is fine with peanut but i haven't try to offer any yet.

my question is do you know if coconut milk or chestnut is okay? i know all babies / toddlers are different but I would like some kind of directions.

many thanks

I would think chestnut is nut too, that's why I didn't give DD that as yet.
Not sure about coconut milk but I thought that's all from coconut itself should have nothing to do with cow's milk? You can check on the coconut milk can and see the ingredients list.

you will need to check which tree nuts they tested. sometimes coconut is done separately or you have to ask to have it done. Coconut and chestnuts are both tree nuts. coconut milk is made from the nut pulp of the coconut.
DD1 reacts to walnuts but so far not to any other tree nut I have tested her for.
